Will I think some notes on transferring files between different environments may help.
How do I send an OpenOffice document to a user with Word? Note (1) that the .ODF (open) format that is normally used by OpenOffice cannot be read by MS Word. However the .doc files produced by MS Word or WordPad can be read by OpenOffice. Note (2) that some complex formatting may not be recognised by OpenOffice. These formatting discrepancies can be caused by the fact that Microsoft has undocumented features or because the specific feature is copyrighted by Microsoft so OpenOffice cannot use it. Procedure 1. Decide on the file type you wish to send. If the recipient needs to edit the document then send a Word or Excel document. If the recipient only needs to read the document then send a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) document. 2. Decide if you need to e-mail the document. If you need to e-mail it then use File>Send> E-mail as Microsoft word or File>send> E-mail as PDF. If you need to pass the document to the user on a disc, or USB drive or over a network then use File>Save As> and choose the appropriate file format and disc.

I would like to know if a Dell PC 9240 XP Home Edition SP2 can save Word Files to either a Disk on the Dell in Word, or a version of OO I put on it, or save the files into a version of OO on the MacBook Pro? I've used it before, and the Sun Star Programs. You definitely get your bucks worth. Oh, an odd question. I was looking for your correct site, and noticed a company called ThinkAll dealing with various programs, including OO. Do you know if they are on the square? Thanks a lot!
